I'm a visual artist and designer from The Netherlands. My style is lyric abstract. I paint large colorful
acrylic paintings and I make woodblock prints with a special printing technique. In assignment I do color designs,
mural paintings and ceramic application for buildings and shopping malls.
In Cappadocia, Turkey I run an art studio and an art residency, here I invite colleagues to stay and explore.
Cappadocia is a strangely sculptured landscape, made ages ago by the volcano 'Erciyes'. I use the volcano shape in an
abstract way in my personal language of symbols, as a metaphor for strength...
The influence of this bizarre landscape on my artwork is visible.
Beside my artwork I give workshops art in both my studio's in The Netherlands and Turkey.
